you think someone’s put a lot of effort into writing it
A lot of effort was put into writing it, just the effort was front-loaded and now people other than the ones that did the work can benefit. What's not to like? :o)
Of course, I actually read it before giving it thumbs up, it was easy to see the difference in style and depth. Maybe if you trained your personal AI, it could help you write quality articles taking over some more tedious parts of work, sort of like a writer would push some data gathering on assistant or a master painter would let his apprentice do most of the work only to take over to fill in fine details.
I'm counting on those snail trails! 👍
